The March 2025 full moon will be extra dramatic. Thanks to a total lunar eclipse, it will also be a Blood Moon. Here's what time you can see it.

Easter is later this year due to a rare "blood moon" total lunar eclipse affecting the lunar calendar, which impacts the timing of the holiday celebrations.

A blood moon occurs because of a lunar eclipse, when the earth comes directly between the sun and the moon, blocking all direct sunlight (this patch of darkness is called the earth’s umbra). However, the moon takes on a spooky reddish hue because some sunlight still reaches it indirectly, via the earth’s atmosphere.
